Ford Focus ST (2006 - 2010) 2.5 ST-2 3d (08) (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I want performance in a conservative package but am not fooled but the myth of German build quality ;-).

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone loves it from my local garage,to the cab driver who drops me off home from the station after a drink to the RAC man who recovered me after an irrepairable rear puncture (Focus ST has no spare tyre!). They all love it....and so will you!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes.It's the best car I have ever owned. Okay it's a bit juicy averaging 31mpg but it's worth it. Just buy one. You will not be dissapointed! :-).

What are you likely to buy next?

Maybe a Focus RS but I am not planning on getting rid of this anytime soon.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£10,995

When did you buy the car?

January 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not really. Took a big loss on the Jaguar X-Type but it was worth it to get rid of it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was desperate to get rid of horrid Jaguar X-Type and a Jaguar garage had taken this in as part x.

What was the dealer like?

Okay.

What's it like to drive?

The most wonderful car I have ever driven! Phenomenal torque,amazing steering/handling and very effective brakes/tyres. My only criticism is that it suffers a bit from road noise but that could just be due to the low profile tytes. It can also be driven very smoothly around town. It's not at all highly strung.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park especially with the reverse parking sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing at all. 100% bullet proof.

What's most practical about your car?

Great boot, sat nav and dual zone climate control.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Quick clear heated front windscreen and the turbo gauges.
